One DIY method to clean headlights at home involves using a lemon and baking soda.
Here's a breakdown of the lemon and baking soda method, inspired by the provided video snippet:
-
Prepare the Headlight: Liberally apply baking soda to the affected headlight, ensuring an even coating. The baking soda acts as a mild abrasive.
-
Apply Lemon Juice: Cut a lemon in half. Squeeze lemon juice onto the headlight where you've applied the baking soda. The acidity of the lemon juice will help to break down the oxidation on the headlight.
-
Scrub: Use the lemon half to scrub the headlight. The lemon's texture, combined with the baking soda, creates a gentle cleaning action.
While this method can offer temporary improvements, it's important to note that professionally designed headlight restoration kits often provide more durable and effective results. This is because oxidation, which causes the cloudy appearance, is a complex chemical process, and these kits are formulated to address it specifically.
